Taiga Biome Biology 11

These are some of the many plants that can be found in the Taiga biome. – kelseyjenjamesabby

Earth Floor: Biomes. Taiga: Plants Because the climate of the taiga is very cold, there is not a large variety of plant life.

The most common type of tree found in the taiga is the conifer--trees that have cones. Four kinds of conifers are common in the taiga. Three of the common conifers are evergreens; spruce, fir, and pine.

This moss has a negative affect on the Taiga since it takes more nutrients than it needs it makes it hard for other plants to grow. – kelseyjenjamesabby

Peat moss grows in wet swampy bogs.

It likes cold temperatures, even below freezing.
Animals of the taiga. Mammals living in the taiga include foxes, lynxes, bears, minks, squirrels, while larger ones include grey wolves and their preys: caribou, reindeers and moose.

In winter, wolves hunt these herbivores in packs, often dividing themselves into two groups to encircle their preys before attacking them. Sometimes, either group upsets the herd of preys, and the other one creeps up on them. Nevertheless, only the young, wounded or older specimens are taken, while adults are spared.

Grey wolves are common in the Taiga due to the abundance of food sources and the relatively cold climate. – kelseyjenjamesabby

Some of the large animals found in the taiga include moose, deer, and bears.

Winter temperatures are often as cold as -14 degrees F, while summer temperatures average 64 to 72 degrees.

As one might imagine, the winters are usually filled with snow. During the summer, heavy rain is expected. Weather temperatures greatly fluctuate in the Taiga Biome. What might be pleasant weather during the day can change within the blink of an eye and the temperatures can become very cold and treacherous.
Weather and Climate - Taiga Biome. Taiga Climate. Taiga - National Geographic Society. The taiga is a forest of the cold, subarctic region.

The subarctic is an area of the Northern Hemisphere that lies just south of the Arctic Circle. The taiga lies between the tundra to the north and temperate forests to the south.

Taiga Biomes. A biome is the type of habitat in certain places, like mountain tops, deserts, and tropical forests, and is determined by the climate of the place.

The red on the map represents the Taiga geography, it includes upper part of Canada like the Northwest Territories and Europe. – kelseyjenjamesabby

The taiga is the biome of the needleleaf forest.

Living in the taiga is cold and lonely. Coldness and food shortages make things very difficult, mostly in the winter. Some of the animals in the taiga hibernate in the winter, some fly south if they can, while some just cooperate with the environment, which is very difficult.

Taiga - Wikipedia. Taiga (/ˈtaɪɡə/; Russian: тайга́; IPA: [tɐjˈɡa]; from Turkic[1]) also known as boreal forest or snow forest, is a biome characterized by coniferous forests consisting mostly of pines, spruces and larches.

The taiga is the world's largest biome apart from the oceans. In North America it covers most of inland Canada and Alaska as well as parts of the extreme northern continental United States (northern Minnesota through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to Upstate New York and northern New England), where it is known as the Northwoods or "North woods".[2] In Eurasia, it covers most of Sweden, Finland, much of Norway, some of the Scottish Highlands, some lowland/coastal areas of Iceland, much of Russia from Karelia in the west to the Pacific Ocean (including much of Siberia), and areas of northern Kazakhstan, northern Mongolia, and northern Japan (on the island of Hokkaidō).

However, the main tree species, the length of the growing season and summer temperatures vary. Climate and geography. Facts on Geography.
